ASSIGNMENT FOR SLOT Loveleen Kaur FILM2200_01 Terryl Atkins 1. What do we already know about horror before ever watching a film? Make a list of as many different things as you can think of (at least six). Where did these ideas come from? More recent films, TV, references on social media (be specific)? Compare/contrast your individual experiences. When we start watching a horror movie, we expect a scary experience. The frightening feeling will last from the start of the film until the end, and sometimes, it will stay with us for a couple of days. The six different things we will experience for sure during watching the horror film are: • Sudden scares –startling moments will be experienced at some points. • Dark Settings and Creepy Sounds – We associate horror with dark visuals and weird sounds • Supernatural Elements – We often assume horror includes ghosts or spirits. • Danger and Suspense – The danger in this film s will be life threatening. • Feeling of loosing someone– The death of someone close to the main character will definitely will be experienced. •Protection of loved ones– We often expect that someone will save the entire family or group of people experiencing that supernatural power. These ideas are often from past horror movie experiences or the childhood stories of our ancestors. Moreover in real life also we hear scary stories from our friends which are quite similar to the movies. Well, I don\'t watch horror movies for many reasons but the one horror movie I watched was The Conjuring (2013). I watched this movie because it is based on the real-life experiences of the Warrens couple. It is a really good horror movie and the interesting fact about this movie is that it is based on true events which make it even more terrifying. 2. How do the visual techniques used in a specific film help deliver the story in terms of mood, pace, expectations (what will these characters do next, hints at what’s to come in the story) The Conjuring has a lot of specific visual techniques to enhance the horror experience: • Lighting – Dim lighting and shadows create a chilling atmosphere, signaling suspense and fear. Also the dim lighting forces the viewers to watch the scenes carefully so that the sudden scares can do it impacts. • Camera Movement – Slow, creeping camera movements build tension by making us anticipate that something will jump out of the screen for real. • Sound Design – Creaking doors, whispers, and low-frequency hums intensify the mood, making every scene feel unnerving. The silence before the loud creepy noise really scares the individual and heart starts beating faster. • Framing – Tight close-ups and wide shots convey emotional tension and make viewers wonder about unseen threats in the background. 3. After reviewing a specific horror film, decide on pivotal points in the film (important messages of the film revealed, everything changes for a character, a problem is resolved) and take a screen grab (or two) that helps illustrate the nature and circumstance of that reveal, change or resolution. Provide a short description of each. The movie has a lot of scary movement bit some of the pivotal movements are when Warrens find old books and artifacts related to witchcraft. This moment is crucial because it reveals the dark history of the house, shifting the story from suspicion to confirmation of a haunting. The book confirms that there is something wrong in this house for sure. In addition, when Lorraine Warren experiences a terrifying vision. She watches the whole story behind the supernatural spirit and what are their true expectations toward the family. This vision changes everything for Lorraine and the viewers as it emphasizes the supernatural stakes and the direct danger to her family. At last The climax scene where Ed Warren performs an exorcism and now the family is finally freed from the malevolent spirit, showcasing the Warrens’ bravery and skills.

The conjuring.
